Bro the rating systems are different...just because he a 63 don't mean he's worse.

Come on...what is the point of even having ratings then?

What is the new rating system and where is it mentioned by developers? They add a new category for "star power" or being "overrated"? I don't have a problem with Lebron being the highest rated player but the fact that he went up while underachieving and many other players went down while playing well doesn't make sense. His flaws have been exposed year after year in the playoffs yet he's a 98...?

I know that there are always players like Nick Young, etc. who play well despite low ratings but you realize their flaws if you play with them long enough.

You've got a guy like Lowry who was the best player on his team and does everything you want from a PG rated 76 yet you'll have rookies patched into the game that are going to be 80+ without so much as playing a Summer League game.

D-Rose is great don't get me wrong...but let's not talk about MVPs because CP3 got robbed in a stacked west coast that year...and his sh*tty team finished 2nd

Kobe won it that year and he was barely 3rd to me. Both Lebron an CP3 had better years. But it was Kobe's LAST chance at ever winning a single MVP so the league had to give it too him...can't have Kobe goin out with no MVPs even if it was given to him

Keep it real...would u look at Kobe the same if he was never the Most Valuable in any year he played...well it's the truth...even Lebron got 2 already. n*ggas don't know basketball...y'all need to stick wit backgammon.

he was also robbed when nash repeated.
you take kobes 35 ppg 5 and 5 away from that squad they literally would have been nets status instead of making 8th seed in the west.
n*ggas started kwame brown, smush parker and luke walton

Not really... I don't get how Steph Curry and Tyreke Evans are rated so high when DeRozan is so low, even though they had comparable seasons...

You gotta look at everything not just stats also...for example..dirk is a 85...dirk offense/shooting is great...but he isnt strong(strength), he isnt quick nor fast(speed) his d is..avg at best an he really isnt that good of a rebounder....when u factor in things like that an 85 is correct....

I swear some of y'all are brain-dead. It has been explained over & over in this thread. For the last time before someone bi*ches about the ratings, the ratings system is different this year. Just because Bosh is a 80 or ________ is ___ doesn't mean they suck. They'll still do damage with Dirk being the most obvious with a motherfu*king 99 in close & mid range.

the counter-argument is that their overall rating is fu*ked up then. wtf is the point of it if it is no indication of how good a player actually is? they need to fix the formula or boost people's ratings so that it's not producing ridiculous results.

EXACTLY!

Im sick and tired having the Raptors dead last every year in player ratings just cuz the entire team sucks as a whole and their stupid overall...

IMO if they want to use stats as a formula to focus on not just the overall rating, why not have a general Offensive (Post,Mid,Long,Slashing,etc), Defensive (Rebounding,Steals,etc) and IQ (Defensive/Offensive awareness,hustle,etc) rating... Break it down into 3 categories (or 2 Offense/Defense) and factor in all the things that matter to make a rating that will make sense for those 2 or 3 overall categories...

Real talk, when u round out Dirk's game...off and def, a 85 is about right. And im tired of seein Joe johnson with a high rating. Dude aint special! and tha GOAT shoulda been a 96 instead of 94. Yea Kobe
